[QUOTE="onejinx, post: 1359663, member: 3391"]The best safe you could buy to use at your home would be a UL tested TXTL 60x6 and a UL class 125 for media. But I know of no company that makes one as of yet. A good, class 125 media safe will run you at least $3K A TXTL 60x6 safe weight start around 3,000 pounds and prices would start somwhere near $20k+ Underwriters Laboratories uses 10 classifications or ratings for burglary-resistant safes. They are, in increasing order of protection: TL-15; Deposit Safe; TL-30; TRTL-30; TL-15X6; TL-30X6; TRTL-15X6; TRTL-30 X6; TRTL-60X6; TXTL-60X6. TL means a safe is tool-resistant, TR means it's torch-resistant, TRTL indicates that it's tool- and torch-resistant, and TXTL stands for torch-, tool-, and explosives-resistant.The numbers 15, 30, and 60 represent the number of minutes a safe will withstand a series of attacks. X6 means a safe provides equal protection on all six sides (including top and bottom). Also UL only reviews them every 7 years. In the end it all comes down to how much you can afford to spend. Or want to spend![/QUOTE]
